Mariposa Crescent in the suburb of Aidanfield, Christchurch

Mariposa Crescent – Named after the steamer Mariposa. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd Order travelled to New Zealand on the steamer Mariposa in 1887. The street names in the Aidanfield subdivision are those of former Sisters of the Good Shepherd Order and former residents of the Good Shepherd Sisters’ Home at Halswell. Named in 2010.
Another street where the library website had interesting information. Another modern street of boring modern houses. Again mostly brick with an occasional house with cladding that looks like weatherboard. One house definitely looked like a toilet block on this street. The saving grace for the street is that it had a couple of nice wee reserves and a playground. One house had a really nice decoration on the outside. I am sure that it would look nice on my house.
